"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

If you imagine a suave guy in your mind I'm sure the first thing you think of is an easy smile.

This is something I've always struggled with. Growing up I rarely smiled. I think this was mostly because I was shy and didn't like outwardly expressing my feelings, even good feelings, so I bottled them up. I think it is also partly because I think a lot and when you are concentrating hard it is natural to frown a little. So I tend to smile on the inside and people can't tell when im happy.

I try and force myself consciously to smile but it turns into a grimace as im straining. I also feel incredibly self conscious

Anyone got any tips for this or exercises to help develop a natural and habitual smile.

I wanna be one of those guys who naturally smiles all the time
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Look in the mirror and pick out a smile that you like. Just experiment with different faces. I've also had this problem because I grew up as a shy kid and never really smiled. When I started learning all this stuff, a smile was what I really needed, but I would never do it because I was insecure by how it would have looked since I've never done it before. So instead I would stand in the mirror, try out different smiles that I thought looked the best, and that's what I sticked with. Now I'm smiling almost all the time.

Must be a common problem for shy people. I also feel weird smiling because I'm just not use to doing it.
